still, it only seems useful as a synth/drum machine. so I guess if you're talking about electronic music it has less limitations.
I'm more of a real instruments type of guy and I don't think I'll be using it anytime soon to record a drum track say...
Unless you can fill me in on something?
Dunno, i've been producing/DJ'ing electronic stuff for ages so i'm not so up on the 'real instruments' stuff.
I doubt you'd use it for a recording device, but it could potentially be very handy for laying down a midi drum track to sketch out your ideas and help with the writing process. I certainly use the iElectribe R for that all the time.
I'm sure there are apps out there using realistic samples for just this kind of purpose and i can only see that increasing as the big names keep coming across (native instruments, BFD etc) and with the announcement of the iPad2 imminent.

Anyway, don't hate your iPad! Just use and abuse it with recognition of some of the limitations you will have.
